He fell to the ground while trying to accelerate in space, and the injury appears to be a serious one at this point. We'll await further information from the Bucs, but Kregg Lumpkin will see a spike in his workload as a result of Graham's injury.

With LeGarrette Blount already out, the Bucs are down to Kregg Lumpkin.

10/21/2011

With LeGarrette Blount (knee) listed as doubtful for Sunday's game, Graham is once again expected to carry the load for the Buccaneers against the Bears, the Buccaneers /team Website reports.

If LeGarrette Blount (knee) is unable to play in Week 6, Graham (hamstring) figures to be the Buccaneers' starting running back, the St. Petersburg Times reports.

Exclusive Fantasy Analysis (FREE PREVIEW)

Graham is a bit banged up himself, but given his familiarity with the offense, and the fact that the team's other running backs have combined for nine career carries, he figures to be the top back should Blount sit out. Those looking for running back help, especially those looking for a replacement for Blount, would be wise to consider adding Graham.

10/9/2011

Graham (hamstring) had five carries for 30 yards in Sunday's blowout loss at San Francisco.

With the departure of Cadillac Williams, Graham is the early leader in camp to become the team's new third-down back behind LeGarrette Blount. Even if Graham wins the third-down back job he likely won't have much fantasy value except possibly in PPR leagues unless Blount were to get injured at some point in 2011.

2010

Graham finishes up with just 14 carries for 66 yards and 14 catches for 109 yards in 2009 after being the starter at RB for most of 2007 and 2008. Graham saw use at both RB and FB in 2009 and may wind up as the starting FB/third RB for the team in 2010.

2009

Graham was in the midst of a pedestrian season before a high ankle sprain ended things Week 11. He’s active in the passing game, but Warrick Dunn severely hampered his value. In 2009, he’ll have even more competition for touches, as free-agent signee Derrick Ward is now likely to have a large role – not only was Ward fantastic last year, he was given starter’s money. Moreover, Graham was still feeling the effects of the ankle injury in March, four months after suffering ligament damage. The injury should be fully healed come training camp, but Graham lost most of his value when Ward was signed.

2008

A complete unknown at the time, Graham
emerged from Tampa Bay's backfield last year
after a series of injuries pressed him into duty.
The result was 1,222 total yards with 10 touchdowns in just 10 starts. During an eight-game
stretch over the middle of the season, (after becoming the team's starter and before he sat out
the final two games when the Buccaneers' locked
up their playoff seed), he totaled 962 yards with
seven touchdowns and 37 receptions. Even so,
that was all accompanied by an unspectacular
4.0 YPC season mark.
While Graham's starting status isn't set in
stone the way LaDainian Tomlinson's is, he's still
the team's best option at running back. Carnell
Williams' career is in doubt and journeyman Michael Bennett is of little threat to steal touches, but the Buccaneers did also bring in Warrick Dunn, who is a favorite of coach Jon Gruden. Dunn is 33 and averaged just 3.2 YPC last year, but he's still an effective pass blocker, and it wouldn't be shocking to see Gruden play him
more than he should. Graham figures to get the
majority of carries either way, and because he's
also the main option at the goal line and in the
passing game, he could be undervalued.

2007

Graham has had some great games in August for the Bucs over the past few seasons, and if he ever gets to fill in for Cadillac Williams as the feature back, he'd be a great high-upside sleeper. However, barring the injuries to both Williams and Micheal Pittman that would give Graham that chance, he'll be used again as a blocking back and special teamer again this year.

2006

Graham enters camp as the leading candidate for the third halfback job; he'll also help out on kickoff returns as well.

2005

Graham has a chance to make the Bucs' roster as their fourth halfback. He may have a bit more fantasy impact as a return man in leagues that use that category.

2004

Jon Gruden liked him in training camp in 2003 before he got hurt; he'll compete for a backup running back job in camp this year.
